It’s that time again to put down the markers, step away from that disobedient CAD file, and wrap that concept presentation up so we can all catch up for the next Industrial Design Xchange event: Celebrating World Industrial Design Day.
This year’s theme? Let’s Get Ethical.
Join us as we celebrate with another one-of-a-kind show & tell night—this time diving into the messy, meaningful space where design meets ethics.
We’re inviting you to reflect, respond, and bring an object that tells a story.
Bring an object, material sample, image, or prototype, or even a note from a project that made you stop and think.
The realm of ethics is vast, complex, and personal. To guide the evening, we’ve layed out some themes to explore:
Ethics; Power
Ethics; Responsibility
Ethics; Transparency
Ethics; Consent
Ethics; Repair
Ethics; Compromise
Together we’ll create an interactive gallery installation that surfaces the quiet (and loud) ethics code we tackle as designers.
Come contribute to the collective conversation, hear from others, and raise a glass to ethics in action.
